The Ghost Rockets: Mystery Missiles and Phantom Projectiles in our Skies

(Before It's News)

My Q&A with Micah Hanks

1. What lead and inspired you to create your new book entitled “The Ghost Rockets: Mystery Missiles and Phantom Projectiles in our Skies?”

I have a number of friends who work in various academic and government jobs who are fascinated with the unexplained, though most often from a more “critical” perspective like myself. Due to their role in government or the scientific community, they most often have to maintain a low profile (which is a whole different conversation we could have). Anyhow, one of these friends with a background in engineering and aerospace began looking into reports of rocket or missile-like UFOs following a report of a “rocket” seen near an airport in Glasgow last year, which turned out to be a toy balloon. What he found picqued my interest, and we began looking more deeply into the possibility that there are rocket (or rocket like) technologies buzzing around in our skies, which are presently unaccounted for.

2. Could you go into what exactly mystery missiles and phantom projectiles are in your perspective?

It’s difficult to say, especially since the raw data is primarily the circumstantial witness reporting (although some of it is very good, like the reports I learned of that exist in NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System database, which is publicly available online). However, in modern usage, I think the closest fit for what we’re observing in such cases are some kind of drone technology, although at times they do appear to behave more like weaponized ballistic technology. Usually, a missile or rocket has a very specific purpose, and their appearances are generally expected to be accounted for by government agencies behind their launches. This doesn’t always seem to be the case, however, so far as what witnesses have described over the years, and this book gets into some of those cases. 

3. So when did these events start to happen exactly as far as seeing these phantom projectiles? Is the point of origins right after World War 2?

The story about these “mystery missiles” goes back to 1946 in Sweden and other parts of Scandinavia, where immediately after WWII there were hundreds of reports of objects resembling rockets seen flying over the countryside during the summer months. The Swedish government formed a study group to determine their origin, and failed to muster any scientific data to account for them, and thus publicly issued a dismissal on the grounds that post-WWII paranoia may have been the contributing factor. But at least a few researchers on that panel, which some historians point out as the technically being first government UFO study group, have noted in years since that there did appear to be a technology of some sort that was operating in the skies over Sweden, which resembled more advanced cruise missile technologies of today. However, no such technology was known to have existed on par with what was seen in 1946, hence the use of the term “Ghost Rockets,” which I applied throughout the book in relation to similar reports that have continued around the world right up to the present day.

4. Are people seeing mystery missiles up to this day in the modern era and could you share a case with us?

Objects that are similar to the classic 1946 Ghost Rockets are still reported, and there have even been recent cases that emerged since the publication of my book! One that has made headlines was a case where a British pilot observed what he described as a bullet shaped object, similar to a “flying rugby ball,” flying dangerously close to his aircraft last summer. The altitude and behavior of the object he observed was inconsistent with most prosaic explanations, and while we could attempt to say he had simply been mistaken, toward the end of my book I recount a number of very similar cases to what occurred last summer over Europe. There have even been cases where aircraft at extremely high altitudes have managed to strike objects while in flight, resulting in dents on the nose-cone of the aircraft! Granted, implosion due to pressure changes at such altitudes, as well as rare instances where high-flying birds may have been unfortunate enough to have a collision with the radome of the plane, could account for at least some of these impacts.

5. Could you go into some of the Long Island cases with us from New York?

I bring up the Long Island cases because of their proximity, both in location, and time frame, to the tragic TWA Flight 800 incident. There were a number of instances where witnesses including experienced commercial pilots leaving JFK International Airport reported seeing rockets or flares over Long Island Sound in the weeks before, and even after, the Flight 800 crash. Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center managed to retrieve a transcript of a dialogue between the crews aboard a Lufthansa and a British Airways flight as they spoke with operators at Boston ATC, as they observed a green “missile” flying above and adjacent to them while departing from JFK. The object obviously remained in the sky longer than a meteor, following what appeared to be a horizontal trajectory for a period of several minutes, and was observed from both aircraft as they travelled. This incident took place remarkably close to a number of others, some involving red or pink “flares” rising up from the ocean and moving dangerously near commercial aircraft.

Now I’ll make an interesting observation here. In my book, I don’t directly suggest that TWA Flight 800 was taken down by a missile… I merely report what most other documentaries on this subject have not done, and that is that there were similar reports of flare-like objects seen over Long Island in the weeks and months before and after Flight 800 went down. Since the conventional explanation here is that the crash resulted from a spark in the center-wing fuel tank, I presume most modern skeptics would discount these cases, and further say that I’m doing “more harm than good” by presenting information that appears to steer the mind of the reader toward an alternative conclusion about the fate of TWA Flight 800. Some might even call that “pseuoscience.” However, I maintain that these cases described in the relevant chapter of my book are well documented, and as isolated incidents unto themselves, should be considered for the dangers they may have represented. And yes, the did occur in the same general vicinity of the TWA Flight 800 crash. Knowing this, which is more irresponsible: presenting well-documented data that may hold implications with regard to a terrible tragedy that occurred, or staunchly overlooking it out of concern that those implications, close to being contrary to the “official narrative,” will do more harm than good by promoting what some would call a conspiracy theory? I outline the official narrative in the book, but also present the facts regarding those other incidents that I simply don’t think many others have taken the time to examine. The data is right there for anyone to read, and I in no way think that presenting it is harmful, or in support of “conspiracy theories.” It’s simply a presentation of what I find to be factual data, to the best of my ability to discern.

6. What is one of your favorite cases involving phantom projectiles?

There is a case that took place in the Bahamas back in the 1980s, over an area called The Tongue of the Ocean (I have some satellite images in the book that show the region). In the 1980s, a pair of AUTEC employees on a night shift aboard a seabound vessel observed a pair of colored “rockets” glide overhead, traveling parallel to the ocean, as if on course to some destination. The observers found this to be extremely odd, as these “rockets” didn’t behave like weapons or ballistic missiles, but more like rocket-driven “drones” of some kind.

7. I have to wonder if some of these ghost rockets are people seeing future or past events from their now moments. Like a glimpse into the matrix so to speak where time suspends and they catch a glimmer of a rocket caught in a time flux. Any more insights into the phenomenon you can share?

In a strictly speculative sense, I’ve wondered about the temporal component in relation to UFO reports, which I discussed in my book The UFO Singularity. Again, many amidst my skeptical brethren out there disliked that book, because they felt it was too speculative (although I did source a wealth of scientific literature in doing so, for which a few others in academic circles, particularly mathematicians and microbiologists, issued a lot of praise). I state that this approach is speculative, but I don’t find speculating, at times, about observable phenomenon to always be “harmful.” It can be though, and in defense of the hard-line skeptics, I think that most of them are primarily concerned about the harmful things that pseudoscientific claims can often present. With the consideration of some phenomenon that may possess a temporal component, we’re merely considering what I’m sure an untold number of physicists have done as well… and without a valid time machine (or even a valid working model for how one would work), we’re all just speculating. But speculation, when carried out in a reasonable fashion, is sometimes a useful tool for getting our gears turning… and then it’s up to us to get back to looking for hard data that backs up those ideas, which then can be presented later, if proven, as scientific fact. So yes, I’ve wondered about what we might call “future technologies,” and I’ve written about those… with The Ghost Rockets, I’ve gotten back to documenting and critically analyzing data, which is quite a departure from my last book… and my readers have noticed, let me assure you! But most of the feedback has been good, all things considered. A few were upset that the book didn’t just go on ad-nauseum about the Scandinavian cases from 1946, but I state in the book that I’m applying the “Ghost Rocket” term across the board to similar reports that have occurred in decades leading up to the present day, and that plenty of exhaustive literature about the 1946 rocket wave already exists. I’m not a huge fan of just going out there and re-writing what other authors have already written, you know, and I feel there is a lot of “new” information this book presents for people interested in obscure reports of unexplained aerial phenomenon.

8. Have any other researchers gotten into this topic? Because from what I’ve seen you are the only one I’ve seen personally to tackle it.

As I had mentioned, a wealth of material exists that documents the old rocket reports from the 1940s. Jerome Clark wrote a lot about this, as well as Clas Svahn and Anders Liljegren, a pair of fine Swedish researchers on the subject. Svahn and Liljegren also documented at least a few of ongoing rocket reports that occurred throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s; with the passage of time, new information about some of those has surfaced, as well as renewed scientific interest in solving them. As a result, I think I managed to flesh out a few of those incidents and bring a lot of new information to those, based on scientific investigations which, in a few cases, may detract from the “missile” theories related to those incidents. But as a researcher, one must attempt to be as thorough as possible, and of course, the aforementioned gentlemen did that at the time they had written about those cases. One of the important things about any area of study like this is to review the old literature and see what new concepts or emerging evidence might lend to it. Here, we’re fortunate to have science that we can often apply to several decades-old mysteries, which helps us to move closer to understanding them better, and in The Ghost Rockets, I think we are able to take a closer look at some of the unexplained missile reports from the past with a new, modern perspective.

9. What would you like to share from the book with us that our readers might find fascinating?

Simply put, these rocket reports represent a curious element within the context of UFO studies. There is that common misconception that UFO means “alien spaceship,” which I think is a ludicrous misunderstanding. UFO means, and has always meant “unidentified flying object.” There is some compelling data out there, but I don’t think any of it conclusively proves that we are dealing with extraterrestrial technologies. Therefore, to say that UFOs represent ET space vessels is a gross stretch in judgement; the possibility exists, but possibility alone does not constitute proof, and I maintain resolutely that we have yet to discover hard proof that alien visitors from other planets have arrived here on Earth. There are, however, a wealth of reports of flying objects of unknown origin, which seem to represent a highly sophisticated technology being employed; my first guess is that these would have to originate from here on Earth, but the problem, as we consistently see in the better reports of unexplained aerial phenomenon, is that these technologies, whatever they may be, appear at times to be so advanced that they border on the exotic or otherworldly. Still, appearance alone cannot be taken as “proof” of the otherworldly, no matter how badly any of us want that to be the case. The possibility remains, but it is merely one in a long list of complex possible solutions to what we call the “UFO” mystery.

10. What are you up to next book wise and any projects or news you’d like to share with us before we depart? Thanks.

I have about four or five ideas I’m working with as far as books, and I’ve been talking with my publishers, as well as looking at self-publishing alternatives, which both fascinate me from a technological and marketing standpoint, and also seem to represent the next wave of success in writing and publishing for driven entrepreneurs. So we’ll see what the future holds… and of course, if I’m lucky, I’ll continue to find intriguing data that I can write about as honestly as possible. If we can present good facts, we might one day be able to present a truly strong argument regarding these UFO things after all.

He also spoke, in a phone conversation, of “landing pads in the jungle that are 3,000 years old.”

Raul-Julia claims there is proof that the Mayans had intended to lead the planet for thousands of years, but were forced to escape after an invasion by “men of dark intentions,” leaving behind evidence of an advanced race.

“The Mexican government is not making this statement on their own — everything we say, we’re going to back it up,” he said.

ALIEN CRAFT OVER MINNESOTA CAPTURED ON CAMERA

SEPTEMBER 2, 2013  …  CASS LAKE MINNESOTA

Allison  Barta of rural Cass Lake, Minn., took this photo on Sept. 2, 2013. She  said the object on the top left corner is not a lens flare, and that she  spotted the saucer-shaped object with the naked eye.  It was in the  sky, translucent, circular, disc-like and most certainly, positively and  identifiably unidentifiable. It was also an object that was flying.   For the moment, we were pretty dumbfounded,” she said of her and her  friend, Neil Peterson. “The two of us are watching it zoom across the  sky, and I’m trying to get another picture of it, but I couldn’t catch  it.”  The lone image she did capture, however, might be enough to whet  the appetites of UFO enthusiasts, believers, identifiers, or whatever  they prefer to be called.  The  object is… something.  Barta was taking pictures of pelicans outside  her rural Cass Lake home in northern Minnesota on Labor Day, Sept. 2.  That’s when she saw the saucer, which spanned the horizon in just a few  seconds at an incredible speed, she said. The pelicans are in the photo.  The object is, too.  “Was it a drone? Was it somebody who actually  created something and they were flying it? Was it a real UFO from  another planet?” she said. “It’s not an aircraft known to this planet. I  don’t really know what it is.”  Barta, a science teacher at the Bug O  Nay Ge Shig school, has spent plenty of time looking at the sky. In  fact, a few years back, she spent an entire summer gazing upward,  mapping stellar bodies for a program called “Star Watch.” She urged her  students to do the same.  But in all those nights, there was never  anything so obviously unidentifiable.  “I’m kind of thrilled I saw it,”  she said.  Barta is not concerned with the tinfoil-hat implications of  walking around and showing off a picture of a UFO. She said the majority  of people she’s approached have expressed interest in viewing the  photo.  “The reactions are amazing,” Barta said. “There’s only been very  few people that just walked away and don’t want to see it. I’m not  standing there and going ‘Oh, it’s aliens.’ But it’s definitely not a  lens flare, cause we saw it with the naked eye.”  Barta considers  herself fairly handy with a camera, but after initially catching the  object in her lens, she couldn’t catch up with it again. There is only  the one shot. She compared it to winning the lottery.  “What are the  chances of getting that picture?” she said. “You need to not be afraid  to share, so I’m sharing it. We all live on this Earth and we should  look out for each other.”  Justin Glawe reports for the Bemidji  Pioneer.

Lakita Adams – UFOs in North Carolina – September 10, 2014

(Before It's News)

Open Minds UFO Radio: Lakita Adams is the state director for the North Carolina chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Lakita’s interest in the UFO subject began when she was nine years old, and witnessed a large fireball with her parents.  In high school, she wrote her first research paper on the subject of UFOs, and for the last 12 years has studied the subject. In 2011, she became a MUFON Field Investigator in North Carolina, and has investigated over 100 cases. She has a BA in English from UNC-G, and has taught in the Randolph County Schools, Randolph Community College and the NC Zoo, where she was an environmental educator for several years. We talk to Lakita about some of the great sightings they have received lately and their investigations.

UNRESTRICTED STUDY REQUIRED OF UFO PHENOMENA  by Bill Wickersham.

One of the world’s foremost investigators of unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial visitation (UFO/ETV) is my close friend C.B. “Scott” Jones. It was Jones who organized and convened the 1995 Washington, D.C.-based conference “When Cosmic Cultures Meet,” which involved many of the world’s leading UFO scientists and analysts. It was also Jones who was funded and tasked by philanthropist Laurance Rockefeller to travel to Europe, Russia, China and other regions to gather information from ufologists and government officials regarding UFO/ETV activities in those and other parts of the world. Scott, who now resides in Kerrville, Texas, is a former U.S. Navy intelligence officer and special assistant to the late U.S. Sen. Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island. He is also a political scientist whose interests include peace research and impact analysis regarding human contact with off-planet cultures and other issues related to UFO/ETV phenomena. More....

ARE MASSIVE UNKNOWN CRAFT THE LEVIATHANS OF SPACE?  by Scott Corrales.

We were assured by space writers and science fiction authors that the vastness of interstellar space could only be crossed by mammoth space vehicles – “generation ships”, in the parlance of some spinners of space yarns – crewed by generations of space travelers hoping to reach their destination centuries hence. The concept was ripe for speculation. What if the children of the children of the first crew became a series of stratified societies aboard their vehicle, and had forgotten the purpose of their mission? (Harlan Ellison’s Phoenix in Ashes, the novelized version of The Starlost), or the fate of the mission was entrusted to a single pilot while passengers endured dreamlike sleep until their destination was within reach (James White’s The Dream Millennium). This science fiction did not allow for super-passing gear of hyperdrive like space opera: crossing the blackness of space was a dangerous, laborious process whose ultimate payoff was never in sight. More...

JACK THE RIPPER DNA HOAX?  by Peter Fotis Kapnistos.

In Russell Edwards’ new book, “Naming Jack the Ripper” (2014), Dr Jari Louhelainen said the killer’s DNA on a shawl was from the Polish-Jewish barber Aaron Kosminski. “However, scientists and scholars of the Ripper case have already cast doubt on Edwards and Louhelainen's specific claims, alleging that the evidence on the shawl is so compromised that any positive identification may be impossible.” More...

CATTLE MUTILATION IN SANTA FE, ARGENTINA  by Scott Corrales.

The story was covered by local station Radio Amanecer and is very interesting. It states that the animal's owner found the animal in a state of nerves and trembling on Friday the 15th, and the found it dead with these injuries on Monday the 18th. Two new cases occurred during this instance: one of them in Villa Adela, in the Villa Ocampo district, at the farm of Osvaldo Marega; another occurred at Km.20, jurisdiction of Tartagal, in a field owned by the Miranda family. In each of these, the are not only many similarities to be found, but also with other events that have occurred in different parts of this northern Santa Fe community in recent months. More...

THE LATE, GREAT PLANET SERPO  by Steve Erdmann.

“Anonymous” introduced an UFO Internet thread list to Victor Martinez in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2011 telling of a supposed highly classified “Top Secret Codewood” about an interstellar exchange Program in which twelve U.S military personnel arrived by alien spaceship in 1965 on a planet popularly known as Serpo.

RITUAL SLAUGHTER OF SUPPRESSED SPECIES  by Pat Regan.

Ritual slaughter of suppressed species – to please a ‘loving god’ or to keep religious fundamentalism alive and kicking. A loving god and his devout followers ... or sick-minded morons who cannot think for themselves? The Arabic phrase ‘Halal’ means permissible. The Hebrew word ‘Shechita’ means the slaughtering of mammals and birds for food. Both slaughter methods are regarded as distressing and highly cruel by leading animal welfare organisations. More...

ALARMING TIME COINCIDENCES  by Paul Schroeder.

Part of the alarming nature of the unknown is its mysterious link to the known; I awaken each night to a lewd exhibition of the merging. I open my eyes and turn to see the digital alarm clock, sitting on the lamp table next to my bed and see: 12:12, and 1:11 am, 2:22 am and 3:33 am and 4:44 am. This distresses me so badly, upon awakening, that I cannot think; just a wave of panic that SOMETHING is awakening me with alacrity, as the calculated odds of awakening each night precisely at those specific times is astronomically impossible.  More...

THE LONG HISTORY OF MILITARY INTELLIGENCE AND THE FLYING SAUCER PART VII by Doc Vega.

In 1952 America was in the grip of the bloody Korean conflict often referred to as the “Forgotten War”. An overseas “Police Action” as it has been termed which cost more than 50,000 US casualties. It is quite ironic to consider the General Douglas MacArthur, architect of the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit, master minded the ingenious Inchon Landing. This amphibious assault by combined US forces in an area considered virtually impossible to stage such an assault upon was responsible for routing the North Korean army and changing the entire momentum of the war in favor of the allies who had been nearly driven into the sea at one point.  More..

UFO mania: Military Eyewitness Captures 'Transparent UFO' On Night Vision

I was looking through [night vision] goggles and noticed a 'plane' coming toward me from the north, heading south. It was relatively low, 5,000 feet or a little less. I'm pretty good at estimating distances, I'm an experienced skydiver and long-distance shooter. I thought it was a little weird that I wasn't hearing it coming toward me, so I started recording on the PVS-14 [night vision monocular].

As I'm watching it, I notice that as it's passing stars, I could see stars through the craft! I saw stars through the 'fuselage' of the craft! Later, I confirmed this when I reviewed the video.

The craft was in the shape of a triangle. There were two lights at the rear of the vehicle, circular, with a blinking light, also circular, almost between them, just a little above the two rear lights. The light in front was shaped like a triangle itself, with a small, round light right behind it. So all together: five lights. This thing was low and slow and silent!!

The last weird thing that I noticed was that, when I took the goggles down for a second to get a bearing as to where it was in the sky, I couldn't see any of the lights, not the fixed lights, not the single blinking light. I couldn't see it without night vision goggles.

Daily 2 Cents: Stonehenge Complex Larger Than Previously Thought — My Two Abductions — Buddhist Monk to ‘Spontaneously Combust’

(Before It's News)

Stonehenge Complex Larger Than Previously Thought

There is more to Stonehenge than meets a visitor’s eye.

Researchers have produced digital maps of what’s beneath the World Heritage Site, using ground-penetrating radar, high-resolution magnetometers and other techniques to peer deep into the soil beneath the famous stone circle.

The project produced detailed maps of 17 previously unknown ritual monuments and a huge timber building, which is thought to have been used for burial ceremonies, Birmingham University said Wednesday.

“New monuments have been revealed, as well as new types of monument that have previously never been seen by archaeologists,” said Professor Vincent Gaffney, the project leader.

The project also discovered big prehistoric pits, some of which appear to be aligned with the sun, and new information on Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman settlements and fields, the university said.

Professor Wolfgang Neubauer of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology in Vienna says the new maps makes it possible “for the first time, to reconstruct the development of Stonehenge and its landscape through time.”

Archaeologists and others have been digging and theorizing at Stonehenge since the 1620s. The monument, 85 miles southwest of London, attracts more than 1.2 million visitors a year — including, last week, President Barack Obama.

The universities of Nottingham, Bradford and St. Andrews in the U.K., and the University of Ghent in Belgium were also involved in the project. – AP

My Two Abductions

I had two abductions. One in 1974 and the other in East Texas 1996. I know 1974 was long ago, but I didn’t want people to think I was crazy and have held this inside for many years and only now feel like I can tell. I was 26, married, had 4 children. It was about 7pm, dark, winter time, I was driving home and felt like someone was watching me. I couldnt shake the feeling. I had to calm myself down. And then, I was at home. That confused me. I went on to bed that night, not remembering the fear I had earlier of someone following me. Suddenly, I was awake and staring into the big black eyes of a creature, standing on my right side. His arms were long and he was just skinny and a grey appearance. I tried to scream, but couldnt. Nor could I move. I could see my husband sleeping in my peripheral view. As I said, the creature was at my right side, and three others, much smaller standing at the foot of the bed. I felt like the one at my right, was some kind of instructor and the three were learning from him. They seemed a little afraid of me and huddled close. Then the one close to me spoke to my mind and I understood his thoughts. He said, “I wont hurt you, and you wont ever remember this.” Then, he took an instrument like a pen with a light and touched my upper groin area. It was then, I remember being naked. And as he ran this pen object down from my groin, and down my upper thigh, I started screaming from the pain, only no sounds were coming out. I screamed for my husband to wake up and help me. It felt like the object was pulling all of my tissue out of my leg, extracting everything away. He took the object to my right above my knee and pulled it away. He was right, the next morning, I remembered nothing. But I started having nightmares. They were all the same; a huge black spider coming down his web from the ceiling to hurt me. I would jump out of bed, screaming, and take whatever object that was near me and start swinging, screaming, “get away from me!” My husband, of course, would wake up and try to to calm me down. He was clearly shaken by this strange behavior of mine. It frightened him. After the third nightmare, and reaction to it being the same; I then remembered. I was terrified, and worried that if I told my husband he would think I went insane. So I said nothing. After remembering, the nightmares ended.

The second one was when I lived in East Texas. I was 48. I was at home alone asleep. My husband a truck driver was gone. I woke up and saw flashing red, yellow, blue, green lights in a circled pattern in my front yard. I was watching them from my bed. The pattern seemed to be going around a dark disk shape. Suddenly, I wasnt in my bed anymore but on a steel oblong table. The same grey (instructor Ill call him) spoke to me telepathically, “I wont hurt you.” I spoke back telepathically, “thats what you said to me the last time. You lied.” There were other greys around the table 4-5 watching. He took out an instrument and ran it slowly over my brain like doing a massage. It was shaped like a pen also with a light. As he moved the pen to different areas of my brain, the sensation was so euphoric, I really didn’t want him to stop. I never experienced such sensation. Then when he was done, he spoke again, “See, I told you so.” And as odd as it seemed, it looked like he was pleased in my response. And strangely, as well, I wasnt afraid any more of him. My first two husbands passed away without me telling about this. My third husband I told, but he just cant believe it. There is a friend who found out about my story, and he was ecstatic. He also is a believer and had several visitations. It felt so good to be around other people who have experienced an encounter with aliens. I have no proof except I have osteoporosis, had 3 hip replacements. The right hip had to have another one only three years later. The doctor said, I just didn’t have enough bone. I wonder if it wasnt from the first abduction on my right leg. I wish I had more evidence. If I get to meet this instructor again, I feel in my inner being, he would let me ask questions. But thanks for being out there for all of us who have had the experience. It is such a relief, to know we are not crazy. ps my occupation: Retired register nurse. – MUFON CMS

Buddhist monk to ‘spontaneously combust’ through meditation

Monk Luang Pu Pim has told his followers that he is going to effectively meditate himself to death.

The 65-year-old, believing that it is his time to die, reportedly lay down in a wooden coffin and entered a trance-like state from which he has claimed he will bring about his own demise.

Pim, who is the abbott of Thailand’s Wat Weruwan temple, has also stated that in the event that he does die, which he expects will happen as early as Thursday, his body and the coffin it rests in will both spontaneously combust.

The coffin, which has several holes in the sides to enable him to breath, has been placed outside of his living quarters where several of his followers have come to meditate.

His daughter, Chanakarn Srisombat, claims that her father had previously experienced a brush with death when he allegedly died while in a cave but was brought back to life by a miracle.

Exactly what will happen this time however remains to be seen. Read more at Daily Mail

Multiple UFOs Over Jerseyville, Illinois, September 9, 2014  (Amazing Video And Photos)

(Before It's News)

(N.Morgan) There was an incredible UFO sighting in Jerseyville, Illinois September 9th, 2014. As you can see in the video and the photos, there was more than one and they are very odd looking and seem to stay in one place. Many have been pondering the meaning of all of these sightings that have been taking place, as of late. Is this some sort of galactic feeling that something big is about to occur? You can see there’s a storm on the horizon and one must wonder if that was the attraction for this visit. Was it the storm that brought them in?

The Sci-Fi Movie Guide – Get Your UFO Alien Film Fix

(Before It's News)

My Original Q&A with Chris Barsanti 

This fine movie guide can be picked up at Visible Ink Press

1. What was your interstellar gooey inspiration and motivation for creating your new book, “The Sci-Fi Movie Guide The Universe of Film from Alien to Zardoz”?

The inspiration for the book was highly Earth-bound. I’ve been a film critic for many years and a sci-fi fan for most of my life. So when Visible Ink asked me if I wanted to update this book, which was first published back in 1997, I jumped at the opportunity 

2. Loving the book thus far and have found a lot of titles I’ve never heard of. What are some obscure films in here that some may have never heard of that you would recommend from your perspective?

A couple of the lesser-known sci-fi gems that I covered in the book and are well worth seeking out are: “Sound of My Voice” (2000), about a filmmaking couple who go undercover in a cult to unmask their leader, a beautiful woman who claims to be from the future, but end up questioning their own beliefs; and “A Scanner Darkly” (2006), Richard Linklater’s creepy trippy animated take on the Philip K. Dick novel about police-state surveillance and schizophrenia.

3. I saw Chopping Mall the other day and loved it. What are some other movies in that vein that you can share with us?

Maybe the highly weird “Night of the Comet” (1984). It has less of the slasher-flick vibe to it, but plays around with some of the same Valley Girl shtick. Plus: zombies!

4. What are some great alien invasion films and aliens possessing bodies flicks that you can discuss with us?

John Carpenter did two of the best: his remake of “The Thing” (1982) and “They Live” (1987). Both are supposedly about invasions by other species but are really highly intelligent, skin-crawling metaphors about humanity’s penchant for self-destruction.

5. I enjoyed the Frankenstein movies in the book. Here lately I’ve had a Frankenstein fetish. It used to be Dracula but now Frankenstein. Would you talk to us about Frankenstein films?

Every robot-gone-bad or computer-gone-bad story is at its heart a Frankenstein story. It’s the same lesson about mankind’s hubris and desire to play God. Whether it’s monsters being created out of stolen corpses or artificial intelligences launching nuclear missiles, I don’t think we’ll ever get tired of seeing stories about the dangers of technology.

6. I love Terry Gilliam films and I was wondering if you could get into Brazil with us and your interpretation of that film?

That’s a pretty big question. Brazil is simply put one of the most stunning, darkly comedic, heart-rending stories ever put on screen. Unfortunately for Gilliam, it came a little too early in his career. I think he said everything he needed to say with that movie and everything since then has felt somewhat repetitive.

7. This is a wild card question. What films would you like to talk about from your book that we haven’t discussed yet?

There have been a lot of exciting sci-fi films being released over the past few years, and not just the junky teen dystopia films (Hunger Games, Divergent, etc.). “Cloud Atlas,” “Coherence,” “It’s a Disaster.”

8. What are you up to next book wise or projects wise and also any links you’d like to share? Thank you for this interview.

I have a mystery novel I’m working on that’s tentatively titled “Wait for Yesterday.” Also, in January I’ll be publishing the 2014 edition of my annual “Eyes Wide Open” film guide series.
